• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Chuck and Ashley with you Chucking Buck in the morning,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three k JRFM, all big doings.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: There's going to be a party in the USA tonight,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: all right. We waited a long time to find that out.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: But five o'clock the match gets started. The game gets
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: started tonight between US and Belgium. Four point thirty pre game.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: We got you covered right here at Sports Radio ninety
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: three point three k JRFM. Brad Evan's gonna join us
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: this morning and nine o'clock can't wait to get his
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: two cents on everything going on. There is a lot
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: going on. And if you have not heard, maybe you
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: were in a fourth of July coma yesterday and you
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: are just now coming out of it via smelling salts
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: and your own mother's pancakes. And so maybe I was
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: going on, I wish Balligan was playing tonight. Well he's
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: playing today. What whatever happened? Whoever got the FIFA? FIFA
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: had a second the thought about whether or not Balligan
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: what he did in the previous match was worthy of
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: suspension for a game. So they are letting him play tonight,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: and now Belgium is appealing the decision made yesterday by FIFA,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and they smell a rat in the kitchen, and so
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: who knows what might happen between now and five o'clock.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Maybe they'll get it reversed again. But as of right now,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the US is top scorer in the World Cup and
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: quite possibly our best player will be playing tonight in
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: this match flow Balligan and I love it. I love
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: it for him. I just never felt that he should
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: have been suspended for a match. But Ashley, we just
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: had Stretch tell us he thought that the play did
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: warrant a red card. He's the first person I've heard
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: say that, by the way. Yeah, yeah, I think Fewing
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: told us Friday that he could see it. He could
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: see it. Yeah, But Stretch one, as far as I do,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: he called it an ankle breaker, you know, even though
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: he knew he didn't do it maliciously, there was no
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: intent to injure anyone. Still, it was a reckless play,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: a dangerous play, and it put the other player at risk.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: So he did think that it warranted a red card,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: but there was supposed to be no appeal process and
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: then lo and behold, yesterday FIFA looked at it and
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: announced that we're gonna let him play on Monday Night,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: and it has the entire soccer world. It has Americans
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: up in arms as Americans angry about it, and man,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the entire thing is just so unfortunate because we've had
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: two and a half weeks of just splendid international love,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: terrific soccer. I even have to admit it, I'm not
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: even a soccer fan. And the US looks like it's
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: got its best chance in years to go deep into
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: a World Cup, maybe ever to go deep into a
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: World Cup. And the US could not be coming off
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: better right now for its job at hosting this event.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: And now we have this to deal with.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it is.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: It's just been botched from the very beginning because I
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: think most people agreed soccer experts that if the field
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: referee had issued the.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Red card, no one would have really contested it.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: They was.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: I said, okay, yeah, fair done. But that's not how
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: it went down. And that's where the problem lies. That
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: you had this var guy that slowed the playdown, which
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: you're not allowed to do.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: You can't look at it in slow motion.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: You have to look at it in real time and
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: assess if you're going to give a red card based
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: on that, And I don't even think they're supposed to
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: necessarily use the var for determining yellow.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Cards and red cards.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: So the whole thing, it just from the very beginning,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: one step after another after another, has just kind of
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: made it yuckier, right, And so.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Then to now have them be able to play while
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: it is righting the wrong of the worl it all
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: went around or.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: All came about, But then even that feels I don't know, I.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Mean to the point where I'm not even sure if
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I want him to play, right, And I understand that, yeah,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: And I think a lot of people kind of feel
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: that way. And it's not because I don't think that
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: he deserves to play. No, I do think he deserves
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: to play. I think it was a crap call, and
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I think it was a crap process for determining that
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: he can't play in the next match. I mean, this
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: is the biggest tournament of all time, right, and he
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: is that valuable of a player, and for him to
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: be I mean, we already played thirty minutes down a
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: guy that wasn't enough of a penalty. He had to
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: sit out, He had to live with that shame of
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: sitting on the sidelines while his team was trying to
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: hold onto its lead a man down, but we're going
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: to tack another game onto that penalty. No, the whole
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: thing seemed wrong, and this feels like it's the right decision.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: And yet, as Stretch explained, and I thought, really well
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: at seven oh five, the FIFA just could have done
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: so much better of a job of explaining it, and
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: maybe didn't wait till Sunday. Maybe it was the day
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: after saying hey, that's not in accordance with the spirit
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: of the rule. We don't like the way that it
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: was processed. We don't feel that that rose to red card,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: and we don't need any appeal. There is no appeal.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: We're just making a decision the day after. No, we're
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: not going to allow someone to be suspended for an
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: entire match on this stage because of something that wasn't
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: done with intent. If you would have done a better
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: job of explaining it rather than just let it float
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: out there. We're going to rescind it the penalty, and
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: we're going to let Donald Trump claim victory, and then
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: we're gonna let the world react angrily and think that
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: there's a scandal involved this should not be scandalous. Yeah, this,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and maybe they want the scandal, aren't you You're like
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Swift and Kelsey. Aren't you getting enough attention right now?
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: FIFA Soccer? Are you not getting Do you need negative
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: attention too in order to feel like you're really getting
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: your bang for your butt this time around?
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: Hey, you're getting plenty of attention. There's nothing wrong with
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: getting great attention. Why do we have to dip our
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: toes into scandalous water. It's like you're intentionally trying to
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: be scandalous just so you can get everybody in a tizzy.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's worked up, and that's where we are.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Everybody's in a tizzy. Like Belgium is actively trying to
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: get this overturned before five o'clock today, and if they
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: are successful, then another group of people are going to
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: be furious.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Yea.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: It just didn't have to be that this way. And
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: yet that's where we're at. And it's been nothing but good,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: feel good two and a half week event. Everything just
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: has gone swimmingly with this thing. And now we've got
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: to deal with this. And so no matter what happens today,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: no matter what happens, us loses you created a distraction.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Balgan didn't play one hundred percent. Now whatever, if they win,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: they ain't cheated. It's turned into politics. How can you
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: even live with yourselves, America, just because we righted or wrong,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: but we didn't do it in a timely fashion, and
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: we didn't explain it well enough when you actually did
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: overturn the decision. And yes, that's shameful.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I do think the timing is one of
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: the biggest problems because had you done this last week
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: so he gets ejected on gets the red card on Wednesday,
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: you could have come out on Thursday or Friday and said, hey,
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: we've decided we're going to take that back. He's not
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: suspended for the next game. Now, Belgium, you've got twenty
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: four hours to appeal. Then you have it all wrapped
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: up and taken care of. I mean there's still questionable things, obviously,
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: but you've still got it wrapped up before game day,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: before the day before the game. I mean, it shouldn't
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: They shouldn't have been doing this yesterday carrying it on
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: into today.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: That shouldn't be happening.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: There's part of me, as I've mentioned even in this segment,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: and I'm wondering if there's part of you that just
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: don't don't play, just don't play, just sit him out.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: But we can win without him, and I don't want
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the asterisk put by it, and I don't want anger,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: and I don't want uproar. It's just too good of
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: a feeling. We can win this match without him. I
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: don't have any doubt in my minds in my mind,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: So let's just set him. But then that feels like
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I'm caving to the noise, and I know the US
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: won't do that, Like, are you kidding me? He's like,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: really good.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: It feels unfair. It feels unfair to Balligin too, right, Yeah.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you mean I had a chance to play, They
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: were going to allow me to play, and then you
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: benched me. Yeah, just because you were worried about what
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: other people were saying. Well, I get where he's coming from,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: but yeah, from my perspective, yes, I'm worried about what
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: other people are saying.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Well, because yeah, I get what you're saying, that everything's
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: been so positive and so to have this, I mean,
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: if you don't play, nobody can complain about it, even
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: if we win.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that people are going to complain.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and if we lose, I mean.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Us people are going to be angry if he doesn't play.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: So there's just no winning at this point. They're just
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: caught Now now we feel caught in between. I mean,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: is it that bad of an idea from a PR
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: perspective that somebody today, let's say noon our time from
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: FIFA gives a long explanation and says, had nothing to
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: do with this, had nothing to do with that. This
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: is our decision. This is what. Have a press conference,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: field questions, take care of everything, and then that gives
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: us a good four or five hours when the press
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: conference is over that everybody can get their mind right
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: and we can just have like we've had over the weekend.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: We can just have a soccer match with a lot
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: at stake that's going to be a lot of fun
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: to take in, just like last night's Mexico and England match.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: You know, like I would like for that to be
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: the environment at five o'clock and not half the world
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: thinking the US has pulled strings with FIFA behind the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: scenes and it's the only reason why Baligan is playing
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the fixes in.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, and you know, the other world leaders could
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: be you know, could have FIFA on speed dial. You
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: never know, right, but it does look in this situation
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: being a host country, yeah, and then having it.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Just you know, uh.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: I don't think that paulatics and sports should necessarily mix.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: I don't think. I don't think that politicians should get
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: involved in the day to day things of sports. There's
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: certain things like college football that I think they have
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: to step in and fix because somebody's inept.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: But in this, well, it sounds like that's not coming
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: from my anti soccer guy. This is soccer people telling
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: me is corrupt and wrong, and this is par for
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: the course.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: And so that's where it just gets. It's like this
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: gray area of like, I don't I just it just
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: feels yucky to have politics and sports mix. It doesn't
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: feel good.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: And I don't even know how much. I mean, I'm
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: sure he did put in a call. Yeah, I'm sure
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: he did. He loves his sports, yeah, and he wanted
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: to be in he did, he thought it was wrong,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: whatever power. Maybe I'll call I know a couple of people. Yeah,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: so I'm going to call. I don't know how much
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: his call had to do with this. I have no idea, right,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: I'll say this, he was right, Yeah, I mean that
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: is one thing about him. I think he is right. Now,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: should he be involved, that's debatable. Should he be listened
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: to and adhered to, absolutely not. He should not have
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: sway over what FIFA does in making a sports ruling.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: But then again, we don't really know. I think he
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: is claiming a victory for America and that's not surprising
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: to us, but we don't know how much that really
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: did influence the decision. So yeah, there are layers to it,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: you know. I think he's right in his assessment that
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: he should play. Yeah, and and but I also don't
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: think FIFA should cave to that because someone of that
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: power has lodged a complaint. And I hope that's not
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: the case. It's hard for me to believe that that
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: is the case. I think that this as to have been.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: We've thought about it, we've analyzed, we've talked to our experts,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: and this is the decision we've made. And if they
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: would have made this the morning after as opposed to
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: the day before, then maybe we wouldn't have this controversy.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: But it does look it does look a little stinky.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: There's no question about it. Even though if he plays.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I do believe one thousand percent is the right thing
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: to do here.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he deserves to be able to play. He should
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: not have gotten that card. Yeah, and that's where that's
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: But that's what makes it difficult.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Right if we knew that one, if we knew.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: That, oh he got lucky, he should have gotten that
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: red card, then we'd be like, no, he shouldn't play,
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: that's ridiculous.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: But it's the fact that he shouldn't have gotten it.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: And now it's Yeah, you feel like the right is
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: wrong is being righted, but it feels like it's being
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: righted in a icky way.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: But that's because FIFA is involved.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Well, and I'll put the shoe on your foot, Belgium,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: since you're having so much fun taking a shot at us.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: You really don't feel good about that. I mean, you know,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: he shouldn't have been suspended, But you would rather have
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: a guy that shouldn't have been suspended not play because
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: he was suspended by mistake. Yeah, you'd rather have that.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: You'd rather face this that way.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Hey, and at people that love that, that want to play.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Teams down And I'm not hypocritical, you know this. Yeah,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I mean I'm the guy that says I don't want
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: I want you at full force. I don't want Matt
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Stafford to be injured for the upcoming Seahawks Rams game.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I want to face you at your best, bring it off.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: No excuses.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: So that's the way that I operate. So I don't
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: think you should feel so good about yourself. They've been
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: whining and crying for the last twenty four hours because
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: a bad call is going to keep our best player
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: off the pitch tonight.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: No, and I do agree, and yes, you are very
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: very much. You've kept a consistent message always with all sports. No,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: I don't want your star player out. I don't want
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: to face the Yankees without Aaron Judge. I don't want
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: to face the Rams without Matt Stafford. I can understand
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: where people think, like, well, any advantage that we can
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: get is helpful. I understand that. But it is an excuse.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: It's a built and excuse if you lose it, or
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: oh well we didn't have so and so so, Sure
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: you won, but congratulations you know, or idiot. But I
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: just yeah, I don't know the whole thing. I just
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: I just don't for what you were saying. I don't
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: love it because everything has been going so well, and
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: so it's just to have this game, to have the
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: lead up to this game being all about this versus
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: the lead up to the last game that was here
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: with Australia where it.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Was the party. You know what I mean, And I
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: know it eventually will be.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: But this is the I mean when we turn on
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: the pregame today, this is what's.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Going to be talked about.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well here's the bottom line. Let me bottom
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: line it for you. We like to bottom line. Let's
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: do it in sports talk radio. The right decision has
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: been made to let him play, and I shouldn't feel
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: guilty about it.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: I do agree with that.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: No, that's the bottom line here. As an American, I
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: should not feel bad about that. I should not have
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: these thoughts of let's just not play them because I
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: don't want to hear the excuses at the end. Yeah,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I don't want us to be painted with that brush.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: It's been too good of an experience. I'm also personally
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: a little caught between and I might need some help
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: on this from you, maybe our listeners as well. Okay,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: so I had a four day In essence, we had
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: a four day weekend because We're off by ten o'clock
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: on Thursday, And yeah, I went home, took a nap,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: and did all that stuff. I had Thursday night off,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: I had all Friday, all the Saturday, all the Sunday.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Also have the unicorn out of town. And the one
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: thing about having the Unicorn around is I'm Gemini, so
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: there's a part of me that needs to be a
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: loner and she's always there. So the idea of having
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: her out of town and having a four day weekend
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: to myself appealing. Yeah, it is appealing, and that's no
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: shot at hurt. Helen of Troy could be in my
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: house and I'd be like, Helen, don't you have friends
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: dang out with?
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Can't you go do something for a little while?
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Why don't you had to Sparta or something? Come on.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: So so there's that. But I'm also in this like
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: I'm getting older and I shouldn't, you know. I try
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: to pick and choose when I drink and I try
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: to pick and choose when I eat out, because neither
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: of those things are good for you. Also trying to
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: save a little bit of money as well. So I
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: mapped out a plan like Thursday, I'm just gonna get
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: a good night sleep on Thursday, okay, and then I
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: tossed and turned all night long for some reason, so
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: completely backfires. Did then Friday was going to be an
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: all day sucker. Like if I'm gonna start drinking, I'm
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: gonna drink all right, and I'm gonna eat and I'm
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: going to enjoy life and I'm gonna enjoy Woodenville. So
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: I did all day sucker on Friday. And then because
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: I did that on Friday, then I got to Saturday
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: and it was fourth of July, and I don't really
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: like to go into the parties in the mix, and
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: so I had the house to myself, so I just
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: kind of low keyed it, had a couple of Woodenville
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: whiskeys in the evening, listen to some records and stuff
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: like that. So that's what I did on my fourth grade.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: All of these things individually good decisions. And then I
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: got to Sunday and it's a beautiful day, and yet
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: I now drink back to back days. So now I'm like, well,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to drink three straight days. I mean,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to be more disciplined about this stuff. So
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: even though it's a beautiful day, and it looks like
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: the perfect day to go sit on a patio somewhere,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: yeah and celebrate life. I'm not gonna do that, And
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: so did laundry, watch sports till all that stuff. So
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: I get down with the four full days, and then
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: as I'm getting up this morning, I'm like, well wasted.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: We get So I'm just caught between this, like living
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: life and enjoying life, but also being like responsible to
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: my health and my finances and my responsibility and everything else.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: And I don't think I can win. I feel like
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: I'm caught between. I don't know how to rectify, like
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: because part of me I'm looking back, I'm like, I
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: only went out really once. I had a whole four
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: day weekend. I could have drove somewhere. I could have
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: seen another town. For goodness sake, I gotta gone hike.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: I only really went and did anything one time, and
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: yet every single day I felt justified. And this is
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: the plan for the day. So I don't know if
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: you can win. If I would have gone all out,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: I'd have felt horrible. If I would have not done anything,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: I would have been horrible. So I tried to balance
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: the two and I still feel horrible.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say, it does seem like a
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: lose lose situation, because if you would have gone out
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: and had drinks yesterday, you would have woken up this
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: morning and been like, oh I should have done that.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: No, absolutely, Like you made a pact with yourself. You're
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: gonna be more responsible for a week. Yeah, and then
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: you three days in a row. You never do three
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: days in a row. Why would you? But then part
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: of me is like, well, what's the point of a
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: four days weekend by yourself? If you're not gonna three
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: days in a row. I should have four days and
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: roaded it.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Should have.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know how to win this.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know how you work. I don't know how
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: you win that either.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: I have a conflict right now. I'm conflicted, and I
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: don't know. I'm trying to get the most out of life,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: which I think is tasting all of its wonderfulness. And
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with just sit I'd got some writing in,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I got some housework done, like the house looks perfect.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I watched a lot of sports, which is what I
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: got to do for a living. I got to talk
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: about it, so it's not there's no wasted effort. There
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: was no waste in momentum. But I did get through,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Like I had four days and I really only did
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: one thing, and I like what and I felt like
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I was a it was a waste. I don't know
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: how to balance the two right now.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry that it felt like a waste that because, yeah,
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: that is hard. I don't I don't know what the
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: right thing, what you should have done. I feel like
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: you did it right.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Well balance when I step back from it, I probably
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: did do it right, but I don't know. I don't
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: know how to figure out. I don't know if anybody
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: else is having the same trouble. But you know, I'm
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: trying to like, eat better, drink less, spend less, and
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: yet I'm also wanting to enjoy life. So how do
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: you pull that off over four days? I'm a loss.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you have to have some downtime.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like FIFA, just caught in between. Don't know
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: what decision you all right? Baseball brunch is next on KJART.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: A lot of the times we recap a Mariner baseball
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: game for you here in the eight o'clock hour, we
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: do it almost every day at six thirty. But this
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: is our opportunity for you late risers to get a
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: recap of yesterday's a Mariner baseball game, And so we
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: do it baseball brunch style with stars and featured guests
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: and things we learned. And the Mariners were taking on
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: the Toronto Blue Jay's with a chance to take two
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: out of three from the Jays at home with all
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: those Blue Jay fans that made their way down south
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: to try to ruin our weekend, Well, how's it feel
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: to have your trip ruined?
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: Ha ha?
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: I also hope you didn't find anything at the outlet
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: mall while you're here.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope they were sold out.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, at the outlets to ruin your trip more.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: I thought of that the whole weekend. Mariners looking to
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: make it two in a row and to take the series.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: After Logan Gilbert was brilliant on Saturday, Emerson Hancock picked
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: a ride up where he left off. They were supposed
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: to piggyback on Saturday. The plan got scrapped by the organization,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: and a good thing that it was, because the Logan
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: went deep Saturday, Emerson went deep on Sunday, and combined
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: they didn't allow a single run, so not much offense required,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: And of all people, it was Mitch Garver who provided it.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: Flattle the flipfield that was crushed, Mitch Garver's fourth home run.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: Speaking on homers the Mariners.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: It's lead. It's three to that thing, Aaron Goldsmith, Mariner's TV.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: They're on the call, big home. That was a blast
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: from Mitch gar He hit that ball hard. And this
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: is new Mitch. New Mitch hits the ball hard like that.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Every once in a while he'll surprise you. Mitch, I
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: do too, New Mitch. Uh And and everybody's got to
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: judge New Mitch for being new Mitch. I know you
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: had judgments of old Mitch.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: More walks with old Mitch, but New.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Mitch is a different Mitch. As we pointed out on
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: this show many times, New Mitch will hold the door
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: for you.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if your hands are full, New Mitch will run
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: in front of you to get to the door so
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: that you don't have to put it down or brace
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: it against something else. Old Mitch would have just let
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: you carry that load.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: New Mitch. You're parched. He'll refill your water. Oh for sure,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: you want ice in there on a square he's a lemon.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: He's got you new Mitch will let you finish your
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: coffee at the exact ratio of cream, sugar and coffee
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: that you'd like, rather than refill your cup when you're
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: not looking.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because then you're like, well, now what am I
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: supposed to do with this cream and sugar?
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: How am I going to get it right?
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Good thing? I don't do cream and sugar anymore, but
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: ole Mitch drove me nuts. Yeah, so a two run
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: over for him, four runs scored on the day for nothing.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: The final score Gabe Spier, Good to see him again.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: It's been since the late eighties. Also, Andres Munos comes
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: in and finishes it off. I wouldn't say closes it out.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: He did close it out, but he didn't get a save.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Wasn't a safe situation for nothing the final score. But
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: of course, the starting pitching was the star over the
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday, really over the entire weekend. Here's Emerson
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Hancock after his brilliant Sunday performance.
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think so. I think he built off each
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: one and I think you see what the guy does
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: well the night before and it just in a way
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: makes you want to go out there and just continue
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: to hold up the standard every time, you know, you
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: get a chance to have an outing. And that was
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: just a great home stand in general for us, Like
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: that was great. There was a lot of really really
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: good things during this homestand and I think for us,
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: like take the day to kind of reset tomorrow. But
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: you know, let's let's see what we can do and
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: get to the break and then you know, continue to
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: think was watching the six holding knocked down. I think,
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: just slow it down, don't let any momentum kind of
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: creep into the game. At that point, I thought, like
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: the Mountain visit was great, slows everything down, know what
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: we wanted to do. And then the guys turned to
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: sick double play. I mean, that's not an easy double
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: play to make. I mean, just to kind of stop
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: all the momentum of that inning was nice. The three too, well,
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: the vibe wasn't great, but again, fully committed to pitches.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: You just miss get.
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: Excited when your catchers have success to play, you know
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: what I mean, because they put up.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: And yeah operation and now gets a SACQUI.
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: Gift you like that little bit. I think it's great.
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: I think it's awesome because I think for us as
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: a pitcher, sometimes you forget that. Sometimes you forget they
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: have two or three at bats that they're solely focused
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: on too, because they do so much for us. And
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: I think you got you see him have that success,
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: see Garb with a big home run, It's like, it's
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: all right, that's awesome right now, let's you know, let's
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: continue this momentum, let's keep it going. But I can't
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: say enough about our catching group and the work.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: They put in for us. Emerson Hancock after the game.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: I can't say enough about Emerson Hancock.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: I just love the authentic authenticity of his answer. I
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: think it's great, Like it was just so genuine in
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: his response.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: It was very cute.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: That's Nana for you.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Nana Hancock, Nana.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Hancock or Nancock.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: A lot of people, a lot of people, you know.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Say three point two three E r A could have
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: easily been named to the All Star team. I kind
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: of think he should have been over Michael Wake, over
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Logan Gilbert. He was just more consistent than what Logan was.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: But neither of them ended up being named to the
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: All Star rosters over the weekend. And we'll get more
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: into that a little bit later on in the show
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: four nothing final score JP Crawford oh for two with
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: two walks. Victor Robley's actually been pretty good here as
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: of it seems to be getting on consistently more consistently
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: than JP, even though we continue to hit him lead off.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: But four nothing the final score there. So what did
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: we learned today kids? In this edition of the Baseball Brunch?
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: We learned our starting pitchers really really really really really
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: don't want to be piggybacked. They just don't want to
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: do it.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: But we really really really want to keep trying and
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: then pulling it back at the last minute.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: We really are committed to changing our minds on the piggyback.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: That is one thing about the organization they've been saying
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: for years. The second thing we learned today, the new
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Garv is full of surprises.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah he is. Yeah, you're hungry. Whip together a
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: meat loaf.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: And it'll be delicious, the best you ever had. Old
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Garf No, he'd let you starve.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: He'd be like, you know what, there's some chips in
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: the pantry, Go get him yourself.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: New Garve is special. And then the third thing that
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: we learned rather briefly I'm tired of being hard on
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: JP Crawford, but I'm far more tired of the Mariners
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: being soft on JP Crawford. Okay, yeah, I think they
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: are really gone out of their way not to hurt
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: his feelings. He is not good enough to hit lead off.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: I would agree with that.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: And I'm sorry. Maybe he listens, Maybe he got his
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: feelings hurt by this show. Maybe others. Because we were
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: ripping on his defense at the beginning of the year
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: and we've moved him off. That was the right thing
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: to do. Colt Emerson should be our short stop. He's back, Well,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be just as direct and blunt. He
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: should not be hitting leadoff. I mean, he has now
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: gone two straight months with a less than two hundred
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: batting average, and I don't care that he's hit ten
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: home runs. That's usually what gets him in trouble. And
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: he's not getting on base consistently enough. He had a
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: three point thirty one on base at one point. Where
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: was that three point fifty not long ago? That keeps dipping.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: He's not hitting for average. He's really not a power hitter.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Why are we choosing him to get the most at
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: bats for our team every single night.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: It's a great question.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: It's just I mean, and it's just to save his feelings.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: I guess there's no other explaination. There's no tangible baseball
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: reason to keep him in the.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: Leadoffs for a team that uses analytics. Yeah, you would
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: think that that that doesn't make that doesn't add up.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Brad Evans going to join us at nine o'clock today.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: But before we bring Brad Evans on, I have a
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: question for soccer fans. And I admit this might be
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: coming from a platform of ignorance, but this is my
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: observation and maybe you collectively have missed the boat on
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: this sports radio ninety three point three kJ R f M.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: I know, I know you're waiting for me the race
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: that far I accidentally hit send. Good morning, It is
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Ashley and Chuck with you. Brad Evans going to join
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: us at the top of the hour. We obviously have
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: a lot to discuss with the former sounder, the Sounder
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: legend here on the radio program today. I don't really
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: know where he's gonna go with any of this.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: No, it's gonna be I mean, I'm very excited to
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: hear from him.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: We've talked We've talked to him every week since the
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: World Cup, since before the World Cup began, and I
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: find you, the young man fascinating, But I'm not sure
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: what he's gonna have to say about all of this.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: I'm here to learn, Yeah, I know.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: That's why.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: I do feel like he gives us a little bit
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: of an education every single week. And I appreciate it.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Well I need it me too. Yeah, So yeah, I
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: kind of lean into he and Stretch and Jackson and
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Anders this time a year. So I look forward to
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: what he has to say about Balligan, about our chances tonight,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: about the weekend which was very exciting. Gotta admit in
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: the World.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Cup excellent soccer games.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: And I'm gonna ask him this specific question because this
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: might really unveil how foolish I am. And I have
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: admitted throughout this I am ignorant when it comes to
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: the sport of soccer. I just don't watch it enough,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: don't invest myself enough in it, don't like it enough
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: to have, you know, studied it like I have some
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: other sports that we discuss a lot more here on
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: the radio show and on the radio station. So here
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: was my observation, and I can't wait to get Brad's
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: thoughts on this. I already asked Stretch about this earlier
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: this morning, and he didn't think I was that far off.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: But I watched like and Bope, and I watched Messi
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: and I watch Holland, and he's like, well, obviously you're
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: very gifted at scoring. And Bope is incredibly fast, and
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Messi is incredibly quick, and Holland is incredibly physical for
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: this sport. Powerful, and you've got a real knack. You
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: got a real skill for when the ball comes around you,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: and the ball comes around you a lot because they're
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: constantly trying to get it to you, that you, better
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: than anybody else on your team, have a knack forgetting
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: it in the net. That's ed. I mean, I've been
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: hearing about this Harry Kane from England this entire tournament,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: and he has like seven eight goals. He's not even
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: close to the best player on his team. That Jude Bellingham.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Dude was everywhere and he was a sensation all on
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: the defensive end of the of the field as he
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: was offensively, and he had two goals last night. Plus
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: he never stopped like Messi and all the other ones.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: They put their hands on their hips and they just
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: kind of wait. Sometime. He was going constantly to me,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: that's the best soccer player I've ever seen.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: No, And I would think, yeah, that watching somebody who's
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: playing both sides of the ball very well would be
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: the top person. But I wonder if maybe this is
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: again ignorant to soccer, just like you and I don't
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: follow England's national team outside of the World Cup.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: But maybe he's clearly one of their best players, like
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: two or three best players. But he's not considered haircase
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: because he's not a striker. He's not and I guess
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: that there is goals are at such a premium if
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: you have an elite goal scorer, he's just so much
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: more valuable than even a two way player. I guess
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: that's the thinking behind it. But as I'm watching that
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: match last plus their goalie was phenomenal last night too,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever watched a goalie play
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: that well. He legit made like five sac like it
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: was going in the net if he didn't make an
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: athletic move to stop it from going in the net.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: So I was thoroughly impressed with those two guys. I
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: mean to me, like messy just looks like, you know,
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: cherry picker, like the world's best cherry pick.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: I'll just hang out over here for the ball. I'm open, guys.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, give me the ball so I can have
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: all the glory. But I'm just gonna wait in this area.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: So give me the ball. I'm the best. You know,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: he's a cherry pick and daddy yeah and I And.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Maybe this is there. Maybe this is Bellingham's breakout game.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: Maybe I don't know, or maybe it was. I don't
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: know what he's done in the I don't think he's
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: done too much in the World Cup prior to that.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: But England hasn't done too much in the World Cup.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: I mean every one of their wins, everyone's like, oh,
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: they haven't looked good.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I'm gonna ask Brad Evans about it. I mean,
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: I could be way off, but I'm like, wait a minute.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: I keep hearing about all these other guys and yeah,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: they're scoring the goals, but that guy, that guy's amazing,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Like he made three defensive plays had goals and he
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: made like three defensive plays that took goals away from
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Mexico last night.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know it was very good, very good, and
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh, I've not heard of this character before,
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: because all you ever hear about with England is Harry Kane.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Hurrycane, Harry Kane, Harry Kane. I'm like, Harry Kane can't
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: even must be cold there in his shadow, because here
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Harry Kane cannot hold a candle.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Just brightening up the whole room.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: That was my take last night. I'll see what Brad
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Evans thinks about it. He's the expert. I'm just some
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: gum flapping jackass. So we'll ask Brad Evans about my
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: hot take here this morning, and I'm sure he'll tell
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: me that's a fool's notion. Brad Evans Sports Radio ninety
